    Ted Cruz Retweeted Lori Lightfoot

    Mayor, the most significant “root cause” is that criminals have all the guns. One place to start is not releasing back to the public, but rather locking up violent, repeat offenders before they murder again: http://www.cwbchicago.com/2019/09/ridiculous-cook-county-judge-sets-100k.html …https://twitter.com/LoriLightfoot/status/1169077555548360705 …

    2)If you want to come to Chicago and learn about the root causes of gun violence, I’ll be glad to show you around & we can have that convo. But enough with this dishonest use of our city as a cheap symbol to cover for the @gop’s unwillingness to protect their constituents.

        The root cause is today's culture, and oh yeah, murder is illegal.

        Ah yes, mass incarceration, that's always the answer. Certainly not mass availability of guns from states with loose gun laws!

        None of the mass shootings were committed by paroled career criminals or gang members, Ted.

        Mass shootings happen almost every other weekend in Chicago; If we are defining "mass shootings" as three or more victims.
